During the Parade of Nations at the opening ceremony of the 2016 Summer Paralympics, athletes from each participating country paraded in the Maracanã Stadium, preceded by its flag and placard barrier. Each flag bearer had been chosen either by the nation's National Paralympic Committee or by the athletes themselves.

Parade order

[edit]

The refugee team entered first as Independent Paralympic Athletes, while the host country, Brazil, entered last. All nations in between entered in alphabetical order in Brazilian Portuguese.

Countries and flag bearers

[edit]

The following is a list of all parading countries with their respective flag bearer, sorted in the order they appeared in the parade.[1] This is sortable by country name under which they entered, the flag bearer's name, or the flag bearer's sport. Names are given as were officially designated by the IPC.
